The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
In the given sentence, the subject is `She’ and the subject performs some action
(Grow the plants)
Now we have to convert it into passive voice.
Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does
nothing, but allows something to be done.
In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced
as now the subject receives the action by the object.
The sentence thus formed is – Plants are grown by her.

coming from the virtual image as if they were coming from a real object behind the mirror.

images, which are oriented upside down.

The given sentence is of ‘Active voice’.
The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
Now we have to convert it into passive voice.
Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does
nothing, but allows something to be done.
In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the
verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the
object.
The given sentence is in the ‘Present Perfect Tense’.
Structure in active voice - Subject + has/have+ v3+ object
Structure in passive voice - Object+ has/have+ been+ V3+ by + subject
The sentence thus formed is – A new language has been learned by Avinash.

S97. Ans.(c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
The error lies in part (c) of the sentence. Replace ‘Depends’ with ‘Depend’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually
correct.
As per the subject-verb agreement, ‘Subjects and verbs must agree with one another in number (singular or plural).’ Thus, if a
subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.

The given sentence is ‘Active voice’.
The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
In the given sentence, the subject is `She’ and the subject performs some action (Grow the plants)
Now we have to convert it into passive voice.
Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does nothing, but allows something to be done.
In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced
as now the subject receives the action by the object.
The sentence thus formed is – Plants are grown by her.
